With Regret

I have unfortunately lost my job after 17 years and it has been a major trauma as I am sure you can imagine. I will need to focus my energies on making sure my family and our home are taken care of and to that end will not be posting here at PP&P for a time.

I apologize to all the wonderful writers who have become my friends and who have shared so beautifully with the all the amazing photographs and art here. I do hope soon I will be in a position to refocus and resume this site and the joy that it has brought to my life.

i am so sorry for the troubles, laura jayne. i wish you luck and will pray for you. i will remain a follower and browse older works while you are gone. thank you so much for keeping this blog while you did- i can imagine the obligation it's been for your time.

i sincerely hope for the best for you- and will keep you in my mind and heart. until you're return, adieu

Thanks for a wonderful blog. It was here that I posted something to a blog that wasn't my own. I made a few blogger friends through Pictures, Poetry and Prose. Thank you Laura Jayne. Hopefully this situation will be short lived, I'll keep you in my thoughts ans prayers.

I am sorry to hear that and pray that things will get better soon. I have enjoyed this site tremendously and its beautiful, inspiring pictures. I will miss it. But I am hoping you will return, please let us know when you do. All the best to you, you will not be forgotten, it is just a temporary "goodbye". God Bless.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers Laura. I've been where you are - I lost my job of 19 years. This was 4 years ago. The road has been rough. The road has been long. But you will come out the other side. Concentrate on your family and friends - find strength inside yourself.

Things happen for the good sometimes, and I think you will be visited by a most serendipitous event. You have my sympathy, hope, and support--if I can help in any way, please let me know. Even if it is just to give you a psychological jolt to help you cope, resist depression, and keep your spirits high. You certainly are missed already and I for one would volunteer to help keep this site going.

Laura Jayne...I am so sorry to hear about the job loss. I will be browsing the archives as well...thank yo so much for the inspiration and challenges during the past year and we all will be waiting for you ...take as much time as you need and we will be here when you get back. We will pray for you to find a new career even better than the one you had.

Oh my goodness,,I cannot help but be ANGRY. Not at you,,at the situaion. You have given a lot of support for all that have visited. Please feel free to drop by and visit anytime. If there is a way to help,, please let people know. glenn

LJ, sorry to see you go but family first always. Take care of yourself come back when the time is right. Tough times don't last, tough people do! I'm sure everything will work out for the best in your favor.

Laura Jayne...Even though I am feeling your loss with you, I am also believing and feeling that there are much better days to come for you, in your career ahead. Believe it, girl...believe it. AND allow yourself some of this time to recover areas of yourself that may have been set aside.

I'll be praying for you, on the inside you, to keep your chin up - heart filled with encouragement and the support that you need at every turn.

Whoa--that's big news. I'm sure it will lead to positive changes in your life. I feel luckier than most of the friends who have posted, because I live near you and will remain in touch even during this haitus. Obviously you have affected many people with your blog and comments. Good work, Laura Jayne! Talk to you soon, K.

Just so you know- if anyone drops by- I'm going to try to keep up this lovely tradition on Mondays on my blog. I'll tribute my Monday prompts to this blog, in case Laura Jayne returns- but for now I'll be posting pictures on Mondays with a prompt inspired from here. Thank you, Laura Jayne, for your wonderful blog! I hope things can settle for you and you can return. :)

I'm really sorry to hear about the unfortunate happenings in your life. I sincerely prayer you....Hope things are better at your end now. You have been doing a wonderful job here. I'd like to see you posting soon...just have faith in God, everything happens for the Good.

I am so sorry to hear about your losing your position after 17 years. Something very similar happened to me, but I discovered that there is a big world out there...just be persistent & keep an open mind.

You must be a very resourceful, creative person! I have just discovered your blog. What a wonderful idea!

Good Thing!! Where have you gone? I need you so! Indeed I need you so! Please say he's just a friend, please just say that he's a friend. Because Girl! You got what I need! Please say he's just a friend, please just say that he's a friend.

I am sad to hear about your loss during the holiday time and will miss you. I will share that I too was downsized, my husband no longer needs my services at home.:(So, this is my wish for both of us in 2010...A HAPPIER NEW YEAR!!!

Hey everyone.. it's been so long and I often think of Laura Jane and the inspiration she gave me. I've decided to restart her blog on wordpress. If any of you happen to check up on these comments, the blog I have is picturespoetryprose.wordpress.com
